For construction companies with 20–100 employees, managed IT typically costs $125–$175 per user/month.

But the real question is: does it save money?


Cost vs Downtime

Even one hour of downtime can cost:

  • $2,000–$5,000+

Here’s a deeper breakdown of how much downtime costs a construction company.


Predictability vs Uncertainty

Managed IT:

  • Flat-rate pricing
  • Proactive monitoring

Break/fix:

  • Unpredictable costs
  • Reactive support

To compare models, review break/fix vs managed IT for construction companies.


Security Risk Reduction

Managed IT includes:

  • MFA
  • Monitoring
  • Backup

Final Takeaway

For most construction companies, managed IT delivers both cost savings and operational stability.


Talk to a Construction IT Expert

If you’re a general contractor or subcontractor with 20–100 employees and want to understand your real IT risks, costs, or gaps, talk to an expert who specializes in construction environments.

 No pressure. Just clear answers.
